Franchise success starts at the Franchising & Business Opportunities Expo

Come to the show that brings together franchisees, franchisors and industry players in a forum like no other.

In 2017 the Franchising Expo celebrated its 30th anniversary and we are very proud of the integral role the show has played in growing Australia’s dynamic franchising industry.

For exhibitors, it provides the chance to meet face to face with thousands of visitors looking to join a franchise system or jump into a small business of their own.

Visitors wondering about the best way to start their own business often find the support and structure of a franchise is the key to success. You’ll be able to speak to franchisors and franchisees from hundreds of businesses, attend free seminars and meet small business advisors and experts – all under one roof.

It’s the perfect place to begin your new business search or finalise your decision making process. Turn your ambition into action today!

“It has been a great show, we have met many good prospects who already know our brand and our business, they are doing their research. It is very worthwhile for us to be here.”

Steve Plarre, Ferguson Plarre

“This has been a fantastic show. We had 10 good leads on Saturday and six of those are very strong. We are meeting great people and we always do well out of the shows.”

Derek Lilley, Dream Doors

“I came out from the US to help the team with this launch into the Australian market. We were hoping for 5-6 strong leads out of the show, but so far we've already got 12 and there are still some hours to go. We are very happy.”

Ryan, NHance

“It's important for us to have a presence and let people know about the brand. If you're not here, you're not here, and you're missing out.”

Clive Wilbraham, Jim's Pool Care

“We have more than 40 good leads to follow up, a great result. Yesterday we had one of the best days we have ever had at a show, we are very pleased.”

John Gill, Cleantastic

“I always find it’s a good return on investment being here, already we have lots of good leads and good opportunities. People here are looking for a business opportunity, they are serious and are ready to make a decision.”

Kevin Bugeja, Franchise 4 U

“Being at the Expo is part of our plan to take the business to the next level. We have definitely found the right people coming over to the stand. We have even had enquiries from people who have come from Queensland and New Zealand!
We have met lots of people who know that they want to get out of the corporate life and into something like this. ”

Sam DiSalvo, Twisted Sista

“We have found the visitors here are very switched on and ready to invest. We'll be very busy following up.”

Ian Cresswell, KX Pilates

“Having a stand and our trailer here has worked well for us, we have made some very good connections. We’ve already received an email today from someone we saw yesterday, he came over from South Australia and is very keen.
There’s no doubt meeting face to face is very important. It’s how you build trust. People are coming here specifically because they want to be in business, they are ready.
I think exhibiting here takes four months out of our franchise process. That’s a big saving for us. It’s the best way to build trust and develop a relationship with prospects that takes us much further. ”

Warren Ballantyne, GutterVac

“We noticed there were a lot of people ready to invest. Our business is growing thanks to the Franchising Expo.”
